Hi all. A quick update on things here...Paul is still in hospital - he's as fit as a fiddle but his calcium levels wont stabilise. He is gagging to get out and walk the dogs and other ordinary things. It really brings it home to you what the simple pleasures of life are when you can't do them.
The poor doggies are stressed - missing him. They sometimes look at me in what I am convinced is a very accusing way - as if to say "WHAT have you done with him? You lost him didn't you? Well go find him please"
Here is Pretty looking adoringly at her beloved... ""I wuf you"
...and here she is right now...sulking. ...."and I'm not coming out until you bring him back!"
Get Well Soon Ma!
Also my mam is doing fine after her double operation. She sends her thanks to you all too for your good wishes. She is in the same hospital as Paul and he visits her every day (when he can get off the damn drip for a while) How nice it is when SIL's and MIL's get on so well together. Mam will soon be going to a convalescent home near where we live so visiting will be much easier for all of us. She is amazing to have come through so well for a lady of 80 years young! Well done Ma!
Photo shows her with Teeda, our sister in Canada. Hello Teeda!
I can't say enough how much all your kind wishes have helped us, especially me. to get on with things and not drop too low in spirits. I logged on this morning feeling a bit low and mopey only to find a lovely heartwarming comment on my last post by the lovely blogger. Painting New Memories. I instantly got a lift in spirits! I made a cup of tea and decided to do this post to tell you all what a comfort you have all been. I hope I can do the same for you some day.
Thanks, Merci, Go raibh maith agat, gracias etc.
Glad to hear your Mam and Paul are doing well and hopefully both will be out soon. May Pauls calcium levels stabilise very soon.
Aren't dogs so special with the way they look at you so adoringly.

It sounds positive news, with you Mam on the mend. Pretty is gorgeous, isn't she. I hope Paul makes a speedy recovery.

It's so nice that Paul and your Mum are spending time together, bet they'll heal all the more quickly for it. Your dogs are sooo cute.

Oh how I have learned that the simple things one can do mean sooo much! Your Paul and your Mam are in my thought sand prayers. I'm giving you all a cyber-hug from me and Mr. B and Lulu & Braxton want to tell your pups not to worry - their Dad will be home soon, loving them and in the meantime, they are to keep you safe and cozy..straight from their lips to your heart :-)

Pam, the tides are turning for you and your family……I just know it! From the look on those cute furry faces, you’re not the only one whose looking forward to Paul’s homecoming. My Lady can’t cope when one of us is away.....she follows the remaining person around with that “pound puppy” look on her face, and wants to sit on your lap all day. The photo of Pretty looking up adoringly at Paul is so sweet.
My very best wishes to your mother, as well. I hope both she and Paul will be able to leave the hospital soon.
Fondly,
Kay

My Chyna wants Pretty to know that she too has her special person in her life and she too mopes until I come home. Leaving her for a vacation is always bittersweet because she will go off her feed, try to run around and will mope all day and night until we return. She said to tell Pretty to hang in there the peoples always come back eventually, make real sad and they'll even lavish you with lovin' and extra treats. ;)
As for the dancing the night away, hey lady you need to unwind yourself. You can't care for others when you are a rag rug in the hallway. Don't feel bad!!!! And congrats on the delivery of a ???? LOL.
